The All India Football Federation (AIFF) will have its executive committee meeting on Tuesday to discuss Shaji Prabhakaran’s removal as secretary general on November 7.

Prabhakaran was removed unceremoniously on the pretext of “breach of trust” but a single bench of the Delhi High Court had on December 8 ordered an interim stay on his sacking.

In its latest order of January 19, the high court asserted that Prabhakaran was dismissed by the emergency committee of the AIFF whereas the federation’s constitution provides that only the executive committee has the power to do that.

The court also said that the stay order of December 8 “does not act as a bar on the AIFF to hold the meetings of the executive committee for the purpose of terminating the tenure of the petitioner”.

Prabhakaran, who is now in Kerala, in a letter to the members, had requested to be given a chance to present his side of the story.

“My sincere request to each of you is that I be invited to the next gathering of the AIFF members, whether it is an Executive Committee meeting or an Annual General Meeting (or, for that matter, any other formal or informal meetings), whenever it is being planned,” Prabhakaran wrote in the letter.

“I would like to answer sincerely every question that our hon’ble members might have on their minds or on things where they have been told that I committed something wrong.”
